My 2005 Turquoise and Magenta City bags!

Great idea! Here is a pic of my pale rose Purse, cornflower City, white Twiggy, and rouge Twiggy.

I had pretty much decided that no one ever needed to know my strange habit of owning multiples of the same style in different colors, but this thread was such a good idea, it's forcing me to come out of the closet (literally).

Since it's confession time, I'll admit that these aren't all of them - I do actually have some other City's and Hobos as well, but most are just duplicates of some of these colors, so for the purpose of documenting colors, these are quite enough, thanks.

P.S. I did the same thing with Chloe Paddys, some other Chloes and MJ's as well - I guess it's that I have such a hard time finding the perfect size and style that fits all of my criteria, that once I do, I stick with what works! But if anyone would like to have me committed, feel free - it's a little embarrassing.

For what it's worth, they're photographed to try to show comparison of colors where possible:

Photo 1: from left, clockwise: Sky Blue, Teal, Navy, Indigo
Photo 2: from left, clockwise: Cornflower, Ink, Emerald, Dolma Green
Photo 3: from left, clockwise: Lilac, Bordeaux, Marron, Turquoise
Photo 4: from left, clockwise: Caramel, Rouille, Chocolate

And please forgive the bad pics - they didn't really want to pose - they just plopped themselves down to show their colors.

OMG that's a lot of bags! *Drool* Soooo jealous! How do you manage to use all of them?

rubygirl · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:06 PM

OMG Style101, Your collection is TDF! I need a new BBag!

ETenebris · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:12 PM

Style101, what can I say? No, really. THAT is a collection of b-bags!

And when you are ready to part with your dolma green, just let me know. I am here for you.

Cristina · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:15 PM

Wow! What a collection, style101! All of your colors are fantastic

No use in posting my apple green first, ranskimmie has it covered

mimz · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:20 PM

Very lovely everyone, and great thread - I love seeing the color and style variation! Here is my Balenciaga family (a few are missing, but I'll post when some new photo's are taken!

)

From left:
Top: F/W '03 Red, F/W '05 Bordeaux, S/S '03 Emerald
Bottom: F/W '04 Rose, S/S '05 Sky Blue

ETenebris · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:23 PM

byMiMi, your emerald is gorgeous! It's good (for us newbies) to see the City and First side by side (sort of) for comparison. I can't decide whether a First would be a good small bag for me. I may have to do a "mock up" in paper and check into this!

Irissy · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:24 PM

Style 101: Omg! That's THE ultimate B-bag shrine you have there.

Btw, are they all twiggy?

mimz · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:29 PM

Thanks ET! :) As for size reference, the first is fine for me - it doesn't fit too much (obviously) but fits a small makeup bag, checkbook, small wallet and cellphone easily without it looking overstuffed.

..and style, it is SO great to see your collection my dear! I'm loving it! :)

style101 · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:36 PM

byMiMi - I know I've complimented your amazing collection before, but I just so love EVERY one of your past season bags. The Rose and the Emerald are so drool-worthy that I can barely contain myself. And the pics you've posted in the past of you wearing them are some of my favorites - you have such an awesome sense of color and style!

mimz · Apr 8th, 2006, 07:38 PM

^ that is such a compliment coming from you style, you are absolutely fabulous yourself! ...and is that an '03 emerald I see in your collection????? I just love them all! The indigo is fabulous too... I'm in love!
